Sworn to this 6th day of July 1855 Fr. Menke

Liste, or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Oldenburg whereof F. Menke is Master, from Bremen burthen 447 tons.

Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material difficult or impossible to decipher.
An asterisk indicates an explantory footnote.
The superscript sign ^ indicates a name has been abbreviated and a small
letter written above the normal line.
Spellings have been transcribed as found in the original list, i.e. femael,
mael, and doghter and the various occupations. The designation woman seems to
indicate wife of the previous entry.
The writer of this list often omits the gender of children; however, in most
cases the given name is an obviouc indicator.
The list has been renumbered and rearranged for this web site listing
because the cabin passengers were numbered separately from the steerage
passengers; thus, I have listed the steerage passengers first and the cabin
passengers at the end of the list.
13-16 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may also be Buechner
23 Surname is very faded; looks like it may be Dool.

Kempiers.

86 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may also be Luening.
98 There is no ditto mark to indicate the surname here. May be the wife
of #97, Joh. G. Kind, so name could be Anna Kind.

would be feminine in German)
